So noticed that everyone had been buying treasuries and the yield went to 0.37. Thinking that the US debt ceiling (if raised) will greatly increase supply, but not demand, I bought a put on SHY (1-3 year short term us treasury etf) @ 85.00 for 0.93.
If US defaults, I break the bank, if they raise the ceiling, i make a little.
Also been looking at greek bonds...the combined rollover bond is 53.xx, 54.xx now. I want to buy this but cannot through my broker. Cannot even find an etf on it...

Stress
So basically on my last hail Mary for getting into school for September and think I may have to actually sit and think of a fallback plan.
I have been at Carleton for almost as long as an Undergraduate program, yet they still will not let me into full time studies.
Make or break time is here, I am teetering on the pass/fail grade of my German course (pass is 63%), and I have started buckling down for the last 2 weeks in hopes I can somehow get an extra 10% boost.
NEEDLESS to say I am stressed for a bunch of things, but work looks like it is picking up now, so at least money wont be one of my major concerns right now.
Anywho, just a short rant today. Time for bed.
ps. I really need to work on the grammar and structure of these late night rants.
